Tamil Nadu: Newly-wed Couple Gets Petrol & Diesel As Wedding Present By Friends
As fuel rates continue to increase in India, a newly-married couple in Tamil Nadu's Chengalpattu was given petrol and diesel as their wedding gift by friends.
In the past sixteen days, petrol prices have hiked fourteen times. Every day is a new record for these soaring high prices and the common man is the one suffering due to it.
The prices have gone so off the radar, that a newly-wed couple from Tamil Nadu received a litre of petrol and diesel each as a wedding present from their friends.

The couple Girish Kumar and Keerthana tied the knot in Chengalpattu district during a time when prices of petrol and diesel are skyrocketing. At first, the couple was surprised to see such a gift but later accepted it in the spirit of humour.
A video of the same was shared. The caption of the video was, "Amidst rising #PetrolDieselPriceHike, friends of the newly married couple, Girish Kumar and Keerthana decided to gift the couple One Litre #petrol and One Litre #diesel as a wedding present at their Wedding reception in Cheyyur in Chengalpattu district #FuelPriceHike."

Petrol and diesel prices have seen a hike of more than Rs 9 in Tamil Nadu, with a litre of petrol being sold at Rs 110.85 per litre and diesel at Rs 100.94.
On March 22, the fuel prices in India hiked for the first time since 4 November 2021. As of April 7, the fuel prices have increased for the 14th time since the ending of a four-and-half-month long hiatus in rate revision. As per the Indian Oil Corporation¡¯s data, on Thursday, the petrol price in Delhi is Rs 105.41 per litre while that of diesel is Rs 95.87. Petrol cost in Mumbai is Rs 120.51, while diesel is Rs 104.77.

The price hike in petrol and diesel varies from state to state depending upon the incidence of local taxation. However, the fuel rate is expected to rise further as oil marketing companies (OMCs) revise prices in line with rising crude oil prices.
However, this is not the first time, people have gifted such unusual commodities and witty gifts to couples at their wedding. At the time when the price of onions had risen, many were gifting the vegetable to newly-wed couples as a joke. Back in 2020, in Tamil Nadu's Ponneri, a couple Sheeba Suvitha and Senthil Kumar were given a bouquet filled with onions. The bouquet was packed with a bow on top and given to the couple by their friends who had organized a wedding reception for them.
